Ask HN: Is there any RSS app with a blacklist / mutelist?

I saw some keyword mute function in feedly for $8 a month.

Do i miss something or is there really no other Mac App or self-hosting RSS system on Github with a simple mute or blacklist (the word covid or playstation) in this web?

This would be useful, especially for filtering out authors in multi-author feeds (e.g., Volokh).

You’ve got a few options on the self-hosted front. TT-RSS and FreshRSS both have quite advanced filtering systems that allow you to highlight or mute articles.

Most of the paid options have similar functionality, including Feedly, NewsBlur & Feedbin.

I think it's available in the $6/mo plan.. and as a paying customer of Feedly's -- I'll say it's worth it.

You can do this kind of filtering using https://www.pipes.digital/ (spiritual successor to Yahoo Pipes) and then in your client app, subscribe to the Pipes feed instead of the upstream feed.
